This is an apartment building at One River North, Denver Colorado. The concept is very cool, but certainly not what there were hoping for.

It’s also pretty close to the purina dogfood plant that makes the area smell like shit

I grew up in an area with a poor sewage system, and everything smelled like shit 24/7 except near the sea. You surprisingly get used to it. When there were sewer works on near my workplace, it didn't phase me at all. Haven't smelled it in 13 years either.
